- a carton comprising a main body defining therein a volume for receiving articles and a lid which is hingedly connected by means of a fold to the main body to selectively open and close the volume, a marginal portion of the lid adjacent a free edge opposite the fold being secured to the main body and a line of weakening being provided to facilitate separation of the remaining portion of the lid from the main body to enable the carton to be opened.
- the carton has substantially rectangular faces, comprising a base, a top, a front, a rear and oppositely disposed sides and also can have each side comprising a plurality of partial side panels secured relative to each other.
- the partial side panels at each side comprise base, top, front and rear partial side panels hingedly connected to the respective main panels.
- the lid can incorporate at least the forward part of the top panel of the carton and can have a partial front panel which extends downwardly from a front edge of the top panel.
- the partial front panel generally overlaps an upper area of the main front panel of the main body and providing the marginal portion, which is adhered to the main body.
- a line of adhesive is provided across the carton between the front panel of the main body and the marginal portion of the partial front panel of the lid, the line of weakening being positioned just above the line of adhesive.
- the hinge lid between the lid and the main body can constitute the junction between the top and rear sides of the carton.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 11/573,521, filed Feb. 9, 2007, which is the National Stage of International Application PCT/US2005/028050, filed on Aug. 5, 2005, which claims the benefit of Great Britain application serial no. GB 0417746.5, filed on Aug. 10, 2004, the contents of all documents hereby being incorporated by reference, in their entirety.
- The present invention relates to cartons having hinged lids. Such cartons are particularly but not exclusively suited for cans such as beverage cans, the opening lid enabling the cans to be removed and enabling ice to be easily inserted into the carton in the spaces between the cans.
- According to the present invention there is provided a carton comprising a main body defining therein a volume for receiving articles and a lid which is hingedly connected by means of a fold to the main body to selectively open and close the volume, a marginal portion of the lid adjacent a free edge opposite the fold being secured to the main body and a line of weakening being provided to facilitate separation of the remaining portion of the lid from the main body to enable the carton to be opened.
- The carton has substantially rectangular faces, comprising a base, a top, a front, a rear and oppositely disposed sides and also can have each side comprising a plurality of partial side panels secured relative to each other. In some embodiments the partial side panels at each side comprise base, top, front and rear partial side panels hingedly connected to the respective main panels.
- The lid can incorporate at least the forward part of the top panel of the carton and can have a partial front panel which extends downwardly from a front edge of the top panel. The partial front panel generally overlaps an upper area of the main front panel of the main body and providing the marginal portion, which is adhered to the main body. Conveniently a line of adhesive is provided across the carton between the front panel of the main body and the marginal portion of the partial front panel of the lid, the line of weakening being positioned just above the line of adhesive.
- The hinge lid between the lid and the main body can constitute the junction between the top and rear sides of the carton. In some embodiments the hinge fold incorporates weakening means to facilitate complete removal of the lid.
- In some arrangements, the lid incorporates upper parts of the sides of the carton, the upper parts being defined in the sides by further lines of weakening. With these embodiments, the further line of weakening can extend downwardly at an angle from the hinge fold between the lid and the main body and then substantially horizontally such that it is generally in alignment with the line of weakening in the partial front panel of the lid. Sections of the front and rear partial side panels can project above the further lines of weakening.
- Usually each of the upper parts incorporates the top portion of the top partial side panel, adjacent the hinge with the top panel and in addition each of the upper parts also incorporates an upper corner portion of the front partial side panel, spaced from the hinge with the front panel.
- The articles are cans arranged to sit with their bottom end on the base panel of the carton.
- Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail. The description refers to the following drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a view of the blank for producing a carton according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the assembled carton. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of theFIG. 2 carton being opened. -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of theFIG. 3 carton fully opened. -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of theFIG. 4 carton with all articles removed. -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of theFIG. 4 carton with the lid fully removed. -
FIG. 7 is a view of an alternative blank for producing another carton according to the present invention. - In
FIGS. 1 to 6 , a paperboard blank 10 for producing a carton 11 is shown. In use, the carton 11 contains in this example a number ofbeverage cans 12. In the particular embodiment shown tencans 12 are provided in two rows of five cans, but other numbers and arrangements can be accommodated by simple modification. - The blank 10 comprises a
main front panel 13, abase 14, arear panel 15, atop panel 16 and apartial front panel 17, all hingedly connected together by a series ofparallel folds panels 13 to 17 is hingedly connected at each end to apartial side panel 22 to 26 respectively. - Across the main front panel 13 a
glue line 27 is indicated such that when thepanels 13 to 16 are folded into a rectangular sleeve, thepartial front panel 17 overlaps the part of themain panel 13 remote from thefold 18 and amarginal portion 28 of thepartial front panel 17 is secured to theglue line 27. Themarginal portion 28 of thepartial panel 17 is defined from the remainder by means of a line ofweakness 29, such as perforations or aligned, spaced cuts. - In each top partial side panel 25 a further line of weakening 30 is provided to define upper and
lower portions fold 20 and then proceeds generally horizontally to the free edge. In addition, thetopmost corner portion 33 of the frontpartial side panel 22 is defined by a further line ofweakness 34, such as perforations or aligned, spaced cuts, which line ofweakness 34 is spaced from the hinge with thefront panel 13. - After the main panels have been formed as a sleeve about the cans 12 (the sleeve can either be formed around the cans or the cans can be inserted into the formed sleeve), the
partial side panels 22 to 26 can be folded in and secured relative to each other. This results in the fully enclosed, erected carton shown inFIG. 2 . In order to gain access to thecans 12, themarginal portion 28 of thepartial front panel 17 is pulled from one end as indicated inFIG. 3 . This causes themarginal portion 28 to separate along the line of weakening 29 and to overcome the adhesive connection of theglue line 27. Once themarginal portion 28 is fully removed, the remainder of thepartial front panel 17 together with thetop panel 16 and theupper portions 31 of thepartial side panels 25 can be hinged about thefold 20, thus severing the further lines ofweakness carton 10 effectively now has alid 40 and amain body 50, thelid 40 being openable and closable relative to themain body 50 by hinging about thefold 20 as shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 (inFIG. 4 the cans have been omitted to show more clearly the internal construction of the carton 11). - Once the carton 11 has been opened as shown in
FIG. 5 ,cans 12 can be removed or ice can be added to themain body 50 of the carton, and thus to the spaces between thecans 12, to cool thecans 12. Thelid 40 can then be closed again until acan 12 is to be removed or more ice added. Thelid 40 can also be fully removed from the main body by tearing along thefold 20, which may also incorporate weakening to facilitate complete removal. - In the illustrated embodiment, the full height
main front panel 13 and the remainingupper portions 35 of the frontpartial side panels 22 retain and support the front part of thelid 40 when it is closed after initial opening. Also it can be seen thatupper sections partial side panels sections lid 40 when it is closed after initial opening thus increasing pack integrity after initial opening. - In the blank 60 shown in
FIG. 7 , many features are the same as those shown in the blank ofFIG. 1 and so they have been given similar reference. The principal differences are in the areas of the lines of weakening 29, 30 between thelid 40 and themain body 50. The front line of weakening 29 in the blank 60 comprises a pair of parallel lines of weakening 61 which are provided above the adhesive joining themarginal portion 28 to themain front panel 13 and which define therebetween a paperboard zipper 62 of a generally known type. Similarly, parts of the side lines of weakening 30 are also constituted by spaced lines of weakening 66 to defineside zippers 67. Theseside zippers 67 could extend the full length of the lines of weakening 30 if desired. At one side of thefront lid panel 17 and at one end of the zipper 62 is adetachable portion 63. Ideally, the product bar-code is printed on thedetachable portion 63 which can be torn off easily by virtue of the perforated line of weakening 64. Once detached, theportion 63 can be handed to a cashier or checkout operator for scanning, thus avoiding the need to lift and handle a potentially heavy carton. Even after removal of thedetachable portion 63, a bar-code 65 or other data means remains on the front of the pack in case theportion 63 has been accidentally detached. - The
detachable portion 63 could be any shape or size and could be provided anywhere on the carton, not necessarily at one end of the front zipper 62. The particular location described and shown is however suitable as it is a redundant piece of paperboard when the pack is opened and thus does not interfere with the future opening/closing of the lid. Ideally, theadhesive line 27 does not extend between thedetachable portion 63 and themain front panel 13. - Although the hinge of the
lid 40 is shown as coinciding with thefold 20 between the rear andtop panels top panel 16 or even a short way down therear panel 15. Obviously suitable modifications would also need to be made to the further lines of weakening. Also, the carton itself need not be rectangular but other shapes could be envisaged.
